Vic in costume. What a legend. To think that I would've forgotten about that. It has to crack his top 10 moments and that DOES say something. Was it Kelly Pavlik or Jermain Taylor that shot their brother-in-law with a BB gun repeatedly. Big strong pro boxer. Shoots somebody with a BB gun. Total p---cake move. Man, can't remember which one did it. But those def two dudes with fun history in the "boxers being a little off and make crazy headlines" bin.
That was indeed Jermain Taylor...whom, incidentally, Vic Darchinyan once called out (quite seriously) when they were undefeated lineal middleweight and undefeated IBO/IBF flyweight champs respectively. Small world.
Darch with a single lucky haymaker detonating on the chin of JT could have in one fell swoop cucked Pac's entire legacy. "Oh, that's cute, you climbed up several weights over a couple of decades? Bitch, I jumped ten and beat the undefeated lineal middleweight champion of the world (coming off two victories over Bernard Hopkins). Suck it. "
